Your 10 Worst Movies of the Decade
With all the top 10 lists floating around, I'm curious to know what everyone's bottom 10 movies of the decade are.
Please limit your list to movies you've actually seen (or seen most of - several of these movies I had to turn off or fast forward through), and not just ones you think look like dreck. My list: 10. High Tension 9. Pathfinder 8. The Golden Compass 7. The Matrix Revolutions 6. Bangkok Dangerous 5. The Black Dahlia 4. Ultraviolet 3. Wild Hogs 2. Eagle Eye 1. and the worst movie of the decade is... SPOILER:
What a horrendously awful movie. Even Scarlett Johansson couldn't make it watchable. "Honorable" mentions to 88 Minutes, The Goods: Live Hard, Sell Hard, and Hitman.

IMDB tells me that Uwe Boll made 16 movies this decade* so I'm not sure how anybody else has a realistic shot of making the bottom 10. Or, actually, the bottom 16.
*How does this even happen?!

Eliminating stuff I couldn't bear to watch and going through things I have rated on IMDB my bottom ratings are:
2 Fast 2 Furious Shaft Gigli Dr T and the Women Autumn in New York Saw Liquid Bridge Elf Blades of Glory The Adventures of Rocky & Bullwinkle (which apparently is the equal worst movie I have ever seen alongside Screw Loose. I can barely remember either. The advantage of doing ratings when you see stuff.)

Using the guidelines of movies I've actually seen (or at least seen most of), I'd have to think pretty hard to come up with ten that I actually hated. I filter out a lot of them, and sometimes Mrs. zoog will bring home a rental DVD that I'll watch for 15 minutes before I go find some other entertainment.
Of movies I've actually sat through, the two that come to mind as being gawd-awful were Cloverfield and Transformers.

Hey, Elf and Blades of Glory were enjoyable, if not good! They aren't on the same 'level' as Gigli or Wild Hogs.
I don't know who Ryan Reynolds is or what he's been in, but Entertainment Weekly magazine seems to have a MAD crush on him. That Rocky and Bullwinkle thing? What ever happened to it? It sank like a stone. I would have thought that thing would run endlessly on something like the ABC Family Channel. It must be really, really, really bad - but I've never seen it on TV.

Thankfully, I don't watch movies I think beforehand will be bad...that limits my exposure to the worst of the worst. However, of the ones I've seen...
10,000 BC Good Luck Chuck (I was stuck in Denver...it was this or Dragon Wars.) Daredevil America's Sweethearts Rollerball Star Wars II: Attack of the Clones

I must have thankfully blocked it out but I believe I have the thread winner. Master of Disguise. An ancient clan of stealthy guys called "Disguisey"? Really? REALLY? That's not even as funny as the incessant fart jokes inserted into an ostensible thriller.

Elf was sort of cute in a weird way. Will Ferrell has a fight with Peter Dinklage, that has to be worth something.
The worst movie of the decade has to be Little Man. Has to be. But that would give it more recognition that it deserves.

I think M. Night Shayamalamalan's The Happening is the single worst movie of the past decade. It is as if Bob and David from Mr. Show created a sketch that was supposed to be a parody of an M. Night film. I am still shaking my head in disbelief that this atrocity was ever filmed.

The worst movie of the decade I saw all the way through was There Will Be Blood. A nasty, pointless, ugly, inhuman bit of filth. I shudder to recall it. Even worse than the original The Out-of-Towners.

First of all(except Battlefield Earth), these movies rose to the level of me watching, so they are not the worst movies.
I've never seen a Uwe Boll movie, for example. The worst I can recall are: Electra Underworld The Mist The Matrix Revolutions - I liked Reloaded, though. I know. It's weird. Attack of the Clones - I did like the ending battles, though. Phantom Menace was worse, though(1999). Land of the Lost Battlefield Earth(came out in 2000). I saw this one as a joke, though.

I don't know if Rotten Tomatoes list of the worst movies of the 200s has been linked here before or not:
http://www.rottentomatoes.com/guides..._the_worst/10/ I personally don't know what my worst movies of the decade would be, but it's difficult to argue that there is anything good about "Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever" -- I watched this for the first time about a year ago and being completely baffled at the finale.

Sorry, I missed the EDIT window:
I just remembered one of the worst movies I've ever seen. Master P has a "Holly Hood" movie collection, and his horror movie "Don't Be Scared" (which I saw strictly because I like one of the actresses in it) from 2006 is one of the worst things I've ever seen. It's like the filmmakers have never seen a movie before. The only good things about it are it is only 45 minutes long (despite the 75 minute long running time printed on the back of the DVD) and the aforementioned actress (Samantha Droke, who I'm surprised to see in this sort of movie).

Planet of the Apes -- the remake was atrocious. But as the Worst of the Worst -- and I know of which I speak -- I gotta go with The Wicker Man. To be fair, it transcended bad -- I almost passed out from laughter when Nicolas Cage was running around in the bear suit beating up girls. Last edited by Boyo Jim; 12-19-2009 at 10:47 AM.

Transformers was hideous. How you can make a movie about giant robots and explosions so incredibly boring, I have no idea, but Transformers achieved it.
But the WORST movie I've seen this decade was some PAINFULLY bad slapstick thing with Cuba Gooding Junior on a cruise ship. I saw it on a long-haul bus ride in Colombia and couldn't get away from it. The volume was turned up so loud that it was impossible to sleep through or ignore. It made me want to gnaw my own head off. This reminds me that I saw Taken on another one of these bus rides and loathed it as well. eta: The horrible Cuba Gooding Junior movie was Boat Trip. (I looked it up on IMDB.) I'd repressed that it was about two straight men who end up on a gay cruise. OH MY SIDES. Last edited by Kyla; 12-19-2009 at 01:32 PM.

I'm only able to do this with the assistance of my Netflix rating history. I have a hard time remembering crappy movies. Of the movies I saw this decade, these are the ones I hated the most.
In no particular order: A Beautiful Mind. I remember being very angry after seeing this movie, mainly because it seemed like everyone else was hypnotized into loving it or something. I won't watch Russell Crowe movies any more. Beauty Shop. I saw this with some of my family (i.e., not by choice). I was expecting not to hate it because I kind of liked Barber Shop, but man oh man was it bad. Only redeeming quality was seeing Rudy Huxtable all grown up. Bridget Jones 2. I absolutely love the first one, despite hating both Renee Zellweger and Colin Firth. I was very much hoping the sequel would delight, but it was painfully bad. Click. Another horrible family experience. My mom and sister actually love this sappy piece of crap. I do my very best to avoid Adam Sandler movies now. For Your Consideration. Unmet expectations make me mad. I love the rest of Christopher Guest's fake documentaries, but this was awful all the way through. The Holiday. How could a movie with two actors I love (Kate Winslet and Jude Law) and one actor I think is hilarious (Jack Black) be so absolutely terrible? I don't think I can even blame it all on Cameron Diaz. Mamma Mia. I'm learning that I shouldn't go to movies with the female members of my family. I love Abba, I love musicals, I usually like Meryl Streep and Pierce Brosnan. Aside from the bad singing, I don't understand my loathing for this movie. But I do know that it's very strong. No Country for Old Men. I'm still angry that I watched this movie. The Village. I bet if I had seen The Happening, that would be my least favorite movie of the decade. Thankfully, this crappy movie preventing me from watching that crappier movie. Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story. Not a single funny moment. Absolutely painful to watch.

I also just find it amusing to hear Eddie Vedder intone "What do we think about when we think about Cox?" For all I know the rest of the movie is terrible, but for me at least there's ONE funny minute.

Like Chum, I'm having to use Netflix here to refresh my memory. It's surprising how many of these I've blocked from memory, only to see their names, and remember the horror.
Be Kind Rewind - I saw this with a friend and the premise sounds promising, but I hated every second of it despite loving Jack Black. Date Movie - I got tricked into seeing this because Alysson Hanigan starred. Bad decision on my part. Electra - I actually liked DareDevil and own it on DVD. This almost makes me hate it by extension. Lady in the Water - I really like Paul Giamatti so I was hoping for something good here, but this was just terrible. Lost in Translation - I wanted to love this, but it bored me to tears. Moulin Rouge - Another movie I saw with a friend. She loves it, I less so. I'd heard how great it was for years, though, so I thought I'd give it a try, and it was as terrible as I was expecting it would be. Napoleon Dynamite - Most overhyped movie EVER. God, I wanted to punch everyone in the face that told me how great this movie was. Horrible, horrible, horrible. Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End - As terrible as the first one was amazing. Super Troopers - Stupid, execrable comedy. Transformers - I grew up on Transformers, and love the idea of huge robots beating the crap out of each other, but this was just terrible. My childhood is ruined. Quote:

1. Gladiator
2. Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones 3. Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith 4. Transformers (a.k.a. Plan 10 from Outer Space) 5. Grindhouse (Planet Terror, anyway; the rest is at least watchable) 6. The Curse of the Jade Scorpion 7. Saw (it's difficult for me to believe that the 5 sequels are worse) 8. Planet of the Apes 9. For Your Consideration (like listening to your drunk uncle tell the same joke five times - each more emphatically than the last - at the dinner table) 10. Ma mère Dishonorable mentions: King Kong, Crash, Cold Mountain (good soundtrack though), The Manchurian Candidate, X-Men 3: The Last Stand, The Black Dahlia, Jindabyne, Sweeney Todd.

I agree with most other people's assessments of the most terrible movies of the year. But I wanted to add one that I haven't seen mentioned yet--The Box. It had an interesting idea, and some genuinely creepy parts at the beginning. Then those creepy parts became hilarious (I'm thinking of the scene in the library) and a potentially interesting morality/conspiracy tale became a half-baked sci-fi mess. Ugh. I considered walking out, but finishing the film was just barely better than sitting alone at home.

Hard to put these in order, although The Cat in the Hat is the worst.
The Cat in the Hat Master of Disguise Catwoman Perfect Stranger The Love Guru The Lady in the Water Righteous Kill 88 minutes Across the Universe Meet the Spartans ETA: You can't stop at ten. I forgot The Spirit, but I'm not taking anything off to include it. Last edited by lissener; 12-19-2009 at 07:38 PM.

This is tough for me, because I try very hard to avoid watching bad movies. I wait until the reviews are in before committing my movie-going dollars. Even so, I have caught a few stinkers on cable. (Fewer in theaters.) The ten worst I actually saw:
Wild Hogs The Number 23 The Matrix Reloaded The Matrix: Revolutions Click - I stupidly believed reviewers who gave this one at least a moderately good rating. The New World - A muddled mess, and a huge disappointment to me. I had been looking forward to seeing a film treatment of the Jamestowne Colony. The Zodiac - I only watched it because I initially mistook it for Zodiac, a much better (but still not so great) movie Say It Isn't So - This wants to be a Farrelly Brothers movie. But it isn't. It so isn't. The Cat in the Hat - Mike Myers mugging his way through some awful dialog. Little Nicky - Dragged to this one by a lady friend who (inexplicably) is a huge fan of Adam Sandler.

I can't help but think that some of these are beyond the worst movies of the decade, but 90 years from now will be on the worst list of the century, and 990 years from now a chosen couple will make it to the worst of the millenium list.
Oh, I forgot something. How many movies did Will Farrell make this decade? Put them all on my list.
